Dennis Publishing CEO Has Hissy Fit Over Fortune Article

A not so accurate Fortune article by David Leonard detailing the supposed decline in growth of lad magazines such as Dennis Publishing's Blender caused Dennis Publishing's President and CEO Stephen Colvin to write a scathing rebuke to Fortune Managing Editor Rik Kirkland. Colvin's letter was in response to supposedly inaccurate statements regarding the decline in circulation of Dennis Publishing's Maxim, Blender and Stuff.

Colvin wrote, "By publishing an article that wildly distorts the facts and by displaying zero knowledge of the industry, youve got as much credibility covering your own magazine business as if you had hired Jayson Blair to be the magazines ombudsman."
